-Raptor is overkill, consider a Seagate Barracuda instead.
-700w PSU is overkill, you could go with the 600w and it will be plenty.
-P5W Deluxe is overkill if you're not overclocking
-Corsair isn't necessary, look at the cheaper G.Skill 667 or 800 stuff.
-Consider a 6400 CPU instead.

Are you planning on going to Vista in the near future? DX10 games?

What resolution is your monitor?


With the money you save on all that, you can buy an 8800GTS or a 22" LCD instead ;)

i would say skip the 74mb raptor. and go for a 200gb or more
hd.
keep your 700watt psu
if you want to oc the ddr2800mhz mem modules are better
for that, or thats what they say.

everything else looks good.
